There is no moro wisdom in confning poultry
exclusive to a grain diet than in keeping animals
on a food devoid of bulk. In the growing season.
the hens eat grass. grain, seeds and insects, and
in winter they may be given moro bulky food
than they usually receive. and at less cost
than that of feeding grain exclusively. If
clover hay be finely cut boiling water poured
over it, and the mess we'll sprinked with mix
ture of ground grain. and seasoned with litsl g
salt, they Cat it willingly. ana il affords
agreeable variety. The clover also largely as
sists in supplying albumen to the eggs. while
the health of the fowls is promoted by the food
not being very concentrated. No doubt some
may consider such feed suitable only for
cow or horse, but il is also good for poultry. If
hens are kept on corn they become exceedingly
fat. and as unfit for laying overfat ami
NAL is for breeding, but feed them on variety
which contains more of the flesh forming ele.
ments than the carbonaceous. and they give bet
ter results. As the stock should be kept warm
ana comfortable, should the fowls. 1t IS
N uch cheaper to provide suitable quarters than
to keep them froom freezing By stuffing them
with corn. They will also eat dry hay, IL cnt
into short lengths; but il il better TO feed 1t
moistened and warm.
